Sod and Ground Cover Standards <br /> All areas not otherwise improved in accordance with the approved site plans shall have a <br /> minimum depth of 4 inches of topsoil and be sodded including boulevard areas. Seed <br /> may be provided in lieu of sod in certain cases, including when the area is adjacent to <br /> natural areas or wetlands. <br /> The area around the stormwater basin will be seeded with MN DOT 34-271 wet meadow <br /> seed mix, with 35-241 mesic prairie seed mix at higher elevations extending south along <br /> the eastern perimeter. Sod is proposed for the rest of the site. <br /> A native seed mix should be used for the low runoff area in the southeast corner of the <br /> site in lieu of sod. <br /> Boulevard Trees <br /> Boulevard trees are not required for commercial developments. <br /> Signage <br /> A monument sign pad is shown on the northwest corner of Lot 1. A separate Sign Permit <br /> Application with detailed sign information is required for any on site or building signage. <br /> Impervious Surface Coverage <br /> The allowed impervious surface coverage per lot in the GB, General Business District is <br /> 75%. Lot 1 has 59% impervious surface. Lot 2 has 52% impervious surface. The <br /> proposed post-development impervious surface coverages are compliant. <br /> Traffic Study <br /> A formal traffic study is not required for the 2 lot commercial subdivision. The updated <br /> 2020 I-35E Corridor AUAR analyzed traffic impacts for commercial development along <br /> this entire corridor. The proposed medical and commercial building are consistent with <br /> AUAR Land Use Scenarios #1 and#2 for commercial development. CSAH 14 (Main <br /> Street) is an A Minor Collector road and has capacity to handle the commercial traffic. <br /> Future development of Outlot B may require a traffic study to evaluate impacts to 24tn <br /> Avenue, Rosemary Way, CSAH 14/Main Street and Otter Lake Road. <br /> Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) <br /> The site is within the 2005 I-35E Corridor AUAR environmental review boundary. The <br /> AUAR was updated in May 2020. The AUAR identifies this site as commercial in the <br /> land use scenarios. The Belland Farms project is consistent with commercial <br /> development. No further environmental assessment is required. <br /> 11 <br />
